You all should know the concept of a DARE (Downside asymmetric risk event)
We all understand how driving while drunk can potentially ruin a life. There is however more to DAREs. They can be evil and hide in situations many don't think about.
I recently mentioned in the inside chat how one DARE I fail to identify when I was a lot younger now really came back to bite me.
The thing is, that event was far from the things usually mentioned when talking about dares. It's not about drunk driving or unprotected sex.
Some far more innocent things can have massive downsides. You make out with a girl and then block her. You tell an annoying emo teen to kill himself. You use pirated images on your website.
On first sight those things don't seem to have that much DARE potential. But now look at this:
The girl keys your car.
The emo teen kills himself and credits you in his suicide note.
A piracy law firm comes across your website and now you have to pay tens of thousands in fines and legal fees.
The list could go on and on. You get the point: Your actions have consequences. In my case, my reckless action from years ago now changed my life for the worse and tool all the momentum I had in life, business and self improvement.
Especially watch out for things that seem insignificant to you. Just because you like telling people to "kys" and think it's funny doesn't mean it couldn't someday lead to your soul being tainted with feeling responsible for a suicide.
If you have a similar experience or took something away from this, I'd appreciate you taking the time to share it here.
